Chapter 2 Cisco CMTS Configuration Commands
cable modem max-cpe
•
cable modem max-cpe
—Sets the maximum number of hosts for all CMs using the Cisco CMTS
router.
The more specific commands override the settings of the less specific commands. For example, if you
use the
cable modem max-cpe
command to set the maximum number of hosts to 2 for all CMs, you can
still use the
cable modem max-hosts
command to give a particular CM a larger maximum host value.
Note
The CMTS assigns the MAX Host value to a cable modem at the time that the cable modem registers
with the CMTS. Changing any of the MAX Host commands affects only cable modems that register after
the change.
Tip
For more information on how these commands interact to set the maximum CPE values, see the chapter
Maximum CPE or Host Parameters for the Cisco Cable Modem Termination System
in the
Cisco CMTS Feature Guide
, available on Cisco.com and the Documentation CD-ROM.
Note
The “Number of CPES” field in the
show cable modem
command shows the maximum CPE value for
the CM, not the value for the CMTS that is set by the
cable modem max-cpe
command.
